I purchased a 2TByte external drive from BestBuy for $151 including tax. The 8240HDC has an eSATA port on the rear panel. After extensive on-line research pertaining to the SA 8240HDC I decided to proceed with expanding storage using an external hard drive connected with an eSATA cable. I quickly realized that would only allow me to record approximately 24 hours of 1080i programs. After recording about 11 hours of 1080i NASCAR races the DVR showed 46% of space used (54% free space). That 80 hours is only if recording Standard Definition (SD) programs, not 1080i HD programs. I was told during this exchange that this DVR recorded 80 hrs of programs. I recently upgraded from a non-DVR HD box to the Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8240HDC DVR box.
